You live the educational Vida Loca—right?
1) You
work crazy-long hours.
2) Then
you dream about teaching—or about dancing across your classroom tables to
blasting music, or weird field trips, or an out-of-control class—followed, of
course, by a surprise observation lesson.
You know you do! Even if you
don’t recall.
3) You wake
up in the middle of the night with brilliant ideas for differentiating your
lessons. You scribble down your ideas in
the dark so every student will say, Wow!
That was amazing!
4) You
wade for hours through Pinterest, re-pinning gorgeous class décor and Earth-Day
themed cupcakes. You can tick off two
dozen fb sites that are brimming with addictive teacher fun.
5) You’re
in forums with teachers from around the world—from “fly-in-only” Alaska to the
Bahamas. And a hidden corner of your
brain wonders why you’re not teaching
in the Bahamas.
6) You
recycle old crafts, many times over.
7) You
carry two—or more—large tote bags, brimming with recycled, old crafts.
8) You
integrate academics, art and technology as easily as you breathe.
9) You
teach the whole child—mind, body, sprit, internet avatar, Kirlian aura, and
future genius of an esoteric niche you clearly see.
10) You
wear your creativity on your sleeve—and you have nothing like a poker face.
No---don’t even try.
If you read this
post you get a golden key...
…to a Creative Teacher Life!
Wear it proudly and make it look good.
Do it for the home team--hey, that's us!
